was a good video. wish we had a translation of the last 3 mins.
Found this in the comments section for the video....Seems accurate to me


PostedMar 14, 07byyvoshkiro
For those interested a simple translation of the text at the end:

This movie is intended to warn drivers of the possible hazards on the roads.

1 out of every 100 motorists rides a motorcycle.

in 70% of all accidents between a MCmore... and a car the driver said he didn't see the MC or saw him too late.

still too little drivers think about MC in daily traffic.

Riders must also take heed of their vulnerability.

A rider is vulnerable.

Compared to a car a MC has more difficulty in evading sudden obstacles such as a bad road, branches or animals

Car accidents have a mortality rate of 20%.

MC accidents have one of 60%.

Because of their size MCs seem further away.

Riders often brake on the engine which does not make the brakelights flare up.

In MC rider jargon (loosely translated) crashbarriers are also called Guillotines and frenchfriesslicers...(I prefer eggslicers)

slippery roadmarkings on wet roads are disaster for twowheelers...

Look, twice, save lives, motorcycles are everywhere.

In memory of our friends...Riders...

i had the sad opportunity to attend a rider's funeral this past year, and it put everything into perspective. I saw first hand how the mother sat in the back of the room staring into space, and how the girlfriend couldnt let go of her late boyfriend's hand. I saw how the family reacted, and how lives can change instantly without notice. I now ride with him in my mind and am extra careful with everything. It was the worst feeling ive ever had walking into that funeral home, and i never want my family and friends to experience that. thank you for the post.

I want to know what the last part was saying, if anyone wants to translate?
